This was Brendan Gleeson's character Colm's house in the movie The Banshees of Inisherin. It's just a prop, not a real house. Not even sure if it's still there (shot this in 2023). It was located on Keem Beach on Achill Island, Co. Mayo, Ireland. I had to frame this shot carefully so that it didn't show the tent a camper had popped up on the other side of the structure.

#FairyTaleTuesday: `The Deserted Village is located in the north on the foothills of the 671 m high Slievemore on #AchillIsland. It was abandoned in the 19th century as a result of the great famine in #Ireland (1845-1849). The surviving walls of the village of about 100 stone houses provide a small glimpse of the living conditions of the #Irish rural population at that time. However, new research suggests that the village was only used in the summer as part of transhumance - in the fall the inhabitants returned with their livestock to areas near the ocean (such as Dooagh or Pollagh).`

How does the old tradition of shepherd and flock fit with the modern worlds of tech and LinkedIn?

Can they coexist?

A few years back, during our holiday on Achill Island, we decided to take a stroll on a beautiful evening. The warm air and clear sky set the perfect ambiance. As we walked, I noticed a sign that cautioned drivers about children playing in the area, while the Moon shone brilliantly in the evening sky.
